This session will help you frame the discussion in a world of BYOD so business users can get what they need and be welcomed with their new Windows Phone devices.

The Discussion

Do we not support pure Native apps that do their own UI? At 15:40 I said that to create a UI in a native app, you must use XAML via a Hybrid model. Additionally you can have a pure native application that has its own UI layer without interacting with XAML, but use existing 3rd DirectX UI libraries.

Do we only support C# for XAML? We support any .NET language - out of the box we have templates and generic project support for VB as well as C#, but it's relatively easy to get languages like F# up and running.
